Exams are over!!

Hey everyone! Its finally the Christmas holidays and I feel like I can finally enjoy myself and watch some movies without feeling guilty about doing it instead of studying.

So my exams went well, I can honestly say that im pretty sure I've passed and im at that stage where I just wanna put all that out my head and focus on my collection over the next few weeks cause thats really taken a back seat.

Its Christmas soon! And once the fun is over ive decided that I will finally do a swatch video of my ysl lipstick collection for everyone to see so keep an eye out for that!

So today was my first day off on the holidays so I just relaxed and had fun with it but tomorrow i'm going to work and then straight after that im going to the gym because the increase in uni work and revision means that I havent been in a month which is scandelous!

I've gained a few pounds over the past few weeks and now that all the stress is out the way I really wanna focus on getting my health back on track. The exams have lead to me smoking again which is devastating and the amount of junk food I've consumed has been shocking!

So I'm currently 13 stone 4lbs but before anyone is like "holy crap WHAT!?" I am 5'9 so weight looks way different on me than others who are shorter and to be honest it isnt really bringing me down or that it's just that I would love to get back to under 12 stone cause I looked really good back then :p

So! The aim over the holidays is to get back into the gym routine and be under 13 stone before i go back to uni. That gives me a month to lose 4 pounds so we're aiming for 1lb loss a week.

I might make this a frequent feature on the blog im not sure but I really feel like a fresh start. To get back to 11 stone by june so that I look banging for grad ball would be grand!

So heres to the fresh start!
And heres to having a fantastic time over the holidays, I for one will be making the most of them!

Below are some photos of the chaos that was revising for these exams, I am a huge fan of flash cards...

Going Out-Out

Time for a major outfit appreciation post! Not done one of these in a hella long time.
So recently I've been spending a bunch of time going out with friends and I done a load of overtime at work so I've been able to indulge in new clothes and such for nights out.

If I could describe my "out-out" style I would begin by saying that I'm not a girl who likes wearing proper skimpy dresses that are all boobs, butt and legs. I also hate anything body-con cause I have a tummy and my bum is pretty big and therefore doesn't need any more attention.

Hemhem, anyway... I am a lover of little A-line dresses, shorts and blazers, nothing too revealing (I like to TRY and keep it classy) so anyway here is a little collection of my going out outfits from last month!

As you can see I am a strong believer in the mirror pic selfie (honestly too cool)

 
The above two pictures are from the same night. I got these stunning fuschia shorts and black top from topshop and the blazer is from river island. The blazer is really baggy but I like the 'boyfriend-blazer' style it gives. 

These two are from a night out shortly after in which is wore the shorts (again) but paired them with a topshop t-shirt for a casual look that could let me go from casual drinks in a bar to a night out with my friends.

This outfit is from this weekend and was purchased because I was going to dinner, then the movies, then the pub and then a night out so I needed something very versatile that would be suitable. I think the statement necklace really took it to the next level. I'm not a massive fan of accessories because I often forget to put them on but this was stunning. Both the dress and necklace were from New Look.
